Laser toenail fungus treatment in Austin can vary. It is important to have all the right information on each treatment option for toenail fungus. Our nail doctors are specialists in toenail fungus. They will first consult you. They determine if what you have is a toenail fungus infection. Afterward, they explain each treatment option. Furthermore, they will also recommend which treatment option would work best for you. 

Treatment Options

A common treatment option is topical solutions. These have a cure rate of about five to ten percent. This is because the solution does not penetrate all the way through the nail bed. Therefore, it does not kill all the fungus.

Another treatment option is oral medications. These have a cure rate of about sixty percent. Although it is higher, it can lead to liver toxicity. Our nail doctors do not recommend this treatment option because it can lead to liver damage.

Other treatments like topical solutions and oral medication are not as effective. Topical solutions have a very low cure rate. This is because the solution does not penetrate all the way through the nail bed.  This is because it can lead to liver toxicity. You would need to have consistent blood tests throughout the course of taking the medication.
